Sigur Ros is always worth it 

Awesome, I ordered this one last week as well - can't wait to hear it! it will go to the top of my listening pile when it arrives! 

Valtari is a great addition to their discography. i love the first 6 songs on the album as much as any Sigur Rós.
But I still can not understand why they ended this album with two instrumental songs that sound like an extended 15 minute outro. Maybe I will have to listen some more to get it

Yes that sounds a bit like Von with the extended instrumental songs - It's probably the album of theirs I dont really get either, though it has grown on me a lot with repeat listenings It sounds like Valtari is a bit of a departure from their last 2 albums - Im really looking forward to it!

Music video of Paula Abdul

The first three for sentimental reasons because I listened to their music a lot and loved them when I first arrived in the US in the early 80's. The MV was because Kimi loved a Sesame Street episode in which Paul Abdul (before she became famous) taught dance lessons for the muppets. Kimi loves that one and loved Paula's dancing. So I bought this one for her.

Sarge:

I can't speak to "...Firehouse" as I haven't heard it yet, but "King Tubbys Meets Rockers..." and "East of the River Nile" are both essential if you like instrumental dub.  Augustus Pablo is a genius.  Satta Massagana is some fine roots reggae, too, and you can find the songs on YouTube to preview 'em.

You know me, I was trying to keep it positive.

By the way, have you heard Foxy Shazam?

[Geo Dude]

No, I haven't.  What album(s) should I be looking for?

The self titled one (partially pictured in my avatar) and Welcome to the Church of Rock and Roll.

Upgraded of few of my personal favorites to Blue-Ray. May end up getting all of the Wong Kar-Wai films on BR. This now means I own three copies of these same films, including Chunking Express which I already bought on BR.

Since I am a lifelong Beach Boys completest, I had to buy this:

[asin]B007U1FEJE[/asin]

But it is really a very good record, rivaling some of their better efforts from their golden years.  No, not as good as Pet Sounds or Smile, but right up there with Today, or Summer Days and Summer Nights.  The vocals are especially good, as is the writing.  There is a sense of summer fading away, which is appropriate, but deeper than mere nostalgia and sentimentality.  It has the effect of an unblinking staring down the inevitable end of the road for this band.

Very pleased with what will no doubt be their last new recording.

The reviews of this one were'nt that great but as Mark kozelek is one of my favourite singer/songwriters I will be suprised if I dont like it
